It’s a reference to “last tango in paris”?

Wiggle aren’t only struggling due to the economic climate, I think their disastrously unpopular app and website update has turned off many many customers. Many of my keen cycling friends just stopped using them on the back of that alone.

I think the whole USB-C business is the worst example of an axe to grind with Apple. Who says that standard must be the only one? The EU have forced something that didn’t need to be forced. I’ve got a household full of Apple gadgets and no USB-C, so when we do update something later than iPhone 15 and it has that connector, it will be the only one, and no other charges will work with it expect any adapters I might have from C to A. I just don’t get it that it was that important.

Well they did reopen briefly for Earth 2, but it was a very special contract

Example; VORON project. 3DPrinters engineered and designed by the project team, contributed to by the community, they don’t sell a product, they share all the plans, BOM and instructions how to make your own 3D printers and even offer a ‘bootstrap’ scheme called ‘print it forward’ where you can pay costs only for parts that have to be printed for the build. VORON

That doesn’t sound like a bad thing tbh.

Hahaha, speaking as a cyclist, you couldn’t pay me enough to tow that thing in the article’s pictures. You’d need to live in Holland, go exclusively on country bike routes that are not shared at all, and be no wind ever. On an e-bike. Edited to add; I made my own trailer once, worked well, you could fit all your lightweight camping gear it, and be more comfortable when you get there. It only took up the space those kids trailers you see, that I also would never put my kids in and go anywhere near a normal road. Brr. Shivers in fear.

Ford build nothing in the UK anymore, I could not care what their opinion is on this issue. Toyota on the other hand are being flexible, support working with whatever is current guidance whether well advised or not, and crucially: employ people in the U.K. building vehicles here.

Started because of the 70s Three day working week to manage the rolling power cuts, miners strikes fuel crisis, then tortured by thatcher who was set to nuke the unions of the face of the planet. Blues hate working class, reds hate anyone who makes profits, and each are scared the other will do those 70s and 80s things again and again. Nevermind that Blair’s Labour was a middle right party, and nothing like the Red Ken memories of Labour past, and it seems like tories have moved out to the right while Labour have moved into their old chairs. I don’t know what SDP liberals stand for
